THE JUDICIARY AMENDMENT

Occasionally reports come to US
where campaign orators deign to
consider the proposed amendments
to the constitution in their reg
ular order without confnmg them
selves exclusively to the prohi5itory
law. The amendment changing the
judiciary system Of the state is g most
salutRry provision for the proper adjust
ment Of our courts and the expedition
of law business. 1t should be discussed
more freely than it has been, and the
necessity for its adoption pointed
out to voters. The number of Supreme
Judges are TO be increased and the
province of the various courts defined
This increase in the number of Supreme
judges will not, as it appears at first
blush, increase the expenses of that court,
but, on the contrary, reduce them by
doing away with the Commission of
Appeals, thus cutting of the expense of
one Judges salary. The proposed law
was conceived and submitted by the
very ablest lawyers in the state. 1t has
not only the support of those distiR-
guished legal gentlemen, who have been
elected to the Senate by the people, tut
it has the almost entire support of the
leading lawyers of the state who have
seen and felt the effects of our present
defective and anomalous system and the
absolute necessity for the change. There
is no politics or partissnship in these
amendments; each must stand or fall on
It's own merits. Whether voter casts
his ballot for or against prohibition
should not prevent him from supporting
these other amendments, all Of which
have been submitted because the exegen-
ces Of the times called loudly for their
enactment.

KELCOnLE TO EORT WORTH

WELCOME TO FORT WORTH.
The people of Texas who are meeting
to-day in this city are welcome to Fort
Worth as citizens Of the state in whose
progress and prosperity all are alike in
terested. In this city will be found some
of the most intelligent and active OPP
ponents Of the cause in which our visitors
are enlisted, but this is waived
in the duties devolving on Fort
Worth on this occasion. Our people
are divided on the great question at issue,
but there is no division in our welcome
to all who enter the gates of Fort Worth
Our people are proud Of their city be-
cause it is the work OF their hands; the
strangers who are here to-day are not
strangers to the fact that what Fort
Worth is it has been made in
the face of difficulties that would
have disheartened other men than those
who have converted hamlet into a city
IN ten short years. The unity Of our
welcome and hospitality to the visitors
in Fort Worth to-day is the sign of that
spirit which has faced bitter rivalry,
overcome unrelentiDg hostility end
placed Fort Worth in q position where
grander success awaits and is made Ger
tain.
Welcome, gentlemen; not altogether
because you are Prohibitionists, but be-
cause you are fellow citizens Of a common
state, and because this city is proud to
show you the accomplishments of unity
and pluck and enterprise. You are
welcome to see for yourselves and to
know for yourselves the progress made,
as well as the reasons for the faith that is
in US that the work of this city's progress
is but fairly begun. Examine and con
slider for yourselves il there be not cause
for self-gratulation and for unbounded
hope in the city that bids you to-day
most cordial and united welcome,

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE has done more
towards building up the town 1t is dependent
on than any journal in any otaer city in the
United States has for It's own town. THE GA
zETTE will secure the Eext state convention fer

Nothing can be accomplished without
persistent effort. THE GAzETTE's per-
sistency at times has made other towns
tired, but THE GAZETTE is working for
Fort Worth and not for other towns. The
merchant who inserts an advertisement
for one time fails to reap the benefit to be
derived from "pegglng away" The peo-
pie of all Texas now know of the "getting
on and off of passengers" at this place,
through persistent relation of the fact;
and if work, early and late, will secure
the Democratic convention next year,
Fort Wort shall have it.
